We have been having a blast with our current Running with the Pack Workshop so we wanted to let you all know that we’re going to be offering a new workshop starting Monday, March 24th, Imagining Stories!

This workshop will teach kids the basics of a good story. In an age where TV, phones and internet are more prevalent then ever, we hope to encourage the power of a story being told using just your imagination.

We will work as a group to talk about what makes good/bad/funny/sad stories and why we like the stories we do. We will generate these ideas through theater games, movement exercises, icebreakers and improvisation. Students will keep a journal of ideas and daily stories. The workshop will culminate with a final story that the students will have created using their ideas throughout the course of the workshop.

Appleburne Workshops is launching an ALL NEW WORKSHOP in January 2014! Our workshop for 6-8 year olds is called “Running With The Pack” and focuses on building teams and helping kids feel comfortable in a group setting. Through theater exercises and movement games, students will have fun while learning the foundations of teamwork.
